About 40 years ago, a guy by the name of Lacey in Tulsa did use a pair of 40hp VW engines to repower his M-10 homebuilt (it did have a C-90) -- the swept area of (2) 4 1/2 ft dia. VW props is a bit more than that of a 6ft Piet prop. What Would Bernard have Done?? Who knows!Cheers!Mike C.Pretty Prairie, KS________________________________________________________________________________

On NX18235 the passenger lap belt is anchored to the ash cross piece at the bottom of the seatback. The shoulder harness is anchored to a lug that is welded to the right rear cabane strut.Greg Cardinal----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Engine choicesLog onto the Dawn Patrol web site. They (8?) are all flying WWI replicas with VWs. Mostly make about 60 HP but can be built up to 100HP. I built a Half vw from Great Plains and it really roars. All new parts!In a message dated 4/10/2008 12:50:37 P.M.
